Hi there,
The difference between blog and website is simply structure and semantics.Know that a blog is a website.
A blog is a post based website designed for interactive communication. As the posts are frequently updated and appear on the front page of the site it’s very attractive to search engines.
What most people call a website is merely a page based site that functions as a one way noticeboard. As the structure is page based and as pages are for static content that rarely changes, and as pages do not have RSS feeds, and as others do not backlink to pages, it is not as attractive to search engines as a post based blog structured site is.
Any WordPress blog can be restructured from being post based to being page based – no upgrade required. For greater clarity read > http://en.support.wordpress.com/using-wordpress-to-create-a-website/

Thank you! I read the outline very helpful. I am unclear why it is not posting after I click publish to he internet? Do we need to wait so many days?

This site http://jwsp4rent.com/ appears to be devoid of any blogger created content.
Post the URL starting with http:// of the exact site you refer to please.

Yes no blog content – we made pages to post for website and selected publish – it still is not viewable. How can we set
it to view on internet? Thank you -
What’s critical is:
(1) a clear comprehension of the differences between pages and posts > http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/
(2) a clear comprehension of the instructions for setting up your theme found at https://wordpress.com/themes/goran/Troubleshooting – My Pages aren’t appearing
They must be public pages – not private – not drafts.
Public – The page will be visible to everyone.
Protected – The page is protected with a password you set. Only people who have the password can view a protected page.
Private – Pages are only visible to blog Editors and Administrators. Private pages are not visible in Blog Surfer, feeds, or in any search. A page can be private without being password protected.These are the how-to instructions:
